Main Ingredients
- 1 fresh cucumber
- 1 stick of spicy Buldak Sauce
- 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare our star ingredient: 1 fresh cucumber, and the popular Buldak Sauce stick. These sauce sticks are super convenient for cooking!
Step 2
Wash the cucumber thoroughly under running water. Pat it dry and then slice it thinly on the diagonal, about 0.5 cm thick. Slicing it diagonally helps the sauce penetrate better, making it taste even more delicious.
Step 3
Place all the sliced cucumbers into a large bowl or on a plate. Look at that bowl full of crisp cucumbers – doesn’t it make your mouth water already?
Step 4
Now it’s time to use the Buldak Sauce stick. Hold the end of the stick, shake it well, and then tear it open at the marked spot. You can gently press it to ensure all the sauce comes out.
Step 5
Drizzle the prepared Buldak Sauce evenly over the sliced cucumbers. The spicy and sweet Buldak Sauce will blend with the crispiness of the cucumber to create a fantastic flavor combination.
Step 6
Finally, sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds generously over the top for a nutty aroma and to complete the dish. The sesame seeds will elevate both the appearance and taste of your cucumber salad! And just like that, you’ve created the easiest Buldak Sauce Cucumber Salad ever.
Step 7
This Buldak Sauce Cucumber Salad is the perfect accompaniment to freshly grilled pork belly, steak, or even jokbal! Its sweet, sour, and spicy notes cut through the richness of the meat, allowing you to savor every bite. Try making it today!
